PET CT scan in Delhi

A PET CT scan (Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography) is the most advanced cancer imaging technology available today. It combines two scans in one: PET imaging shows how your body's cells are functioning at a metabolic level, while CT imaging shows detailed anatomy. Together, they can detect cancer earlier and more accurately than either scan alone — often identifying disease that a regular CT or MRI would miss.

Before the scan, a small amount of radioactive glucose (FDG) is injected. Because cancer cells consume glucose faster than normal cells, they light up on the PET scan — revealing the exact location, size, and activity of tumours anywhere in the body in a single examination.

When is a PET CT scan needed?

Your oncologist or physician may recommend a PET CT scan for: initial cancer diagnosis and staging (determining how far cancer has spread before treatment), treatment response evaluation (checking whether chemotherapy or radiation is working), detecting recurrence after surgery or treatment, finding unknown primary tumours when metastasis is found first, and select cardiac and neurological conditions including myocardial viability, epilepsy, and dementia work-up.
